Review: Taken from the album of the same name, "Congo Beat The Drum" has been a labour of love for Kalbata and Mixmonster. Their vision: to create an authentic dub document at a King Tubby level. Recording, and working with, some of Jamaica's most longstanding artists, the result speaks serious volumes. Thundering tribal drum drama is the order of the day while Mackerel tells a fishy tale with raw throaty grit. Kahn's remix flips the entire vibe, adding eerie eastern strings and a rich low end that's so warm it could cook your breakfast. For added measure they've also thrown in a dub mix of "Out A Road". Bubblesome.
